Took off the board (6)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
erased
'took off the board' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for erased that I've seen before include "Obliterated" , "Removed completely" , "Rubbed out, expunged" , "Red sea (anag)" , "Removed by rubbing" .)
